anyone please? im actually tweaking

bronze river
#

have you tried verify the game files on steam?

errant cargo
bronze river
#

any mods loaded?

errant cargo
bronze river
#

is that the full error rpt?

errant cargo
#

yeah

bronze river
#

there is a radical way to fix this by deleting the files stated on that error text, and then verify game files so it will redownload the files back.

primal wasp
#

how do I fix this?

#

When I do remove the listed files it requires them back 🤣

Can you provide the name and/or the IP of the server you are trying to join. So we can verify if it is your install or the server being strange.

Can you also write the name?

Server name: [ OFFICIAL ] Arma 3 Warlords by Bohemia Interactive (EU) #11

Here's all info basically

bronze river

you need to update your game to the latest version

Required game version: 2.16.150779

primal wasp
#

isn't it updated?

#

Check the about option in the gear icon in the top right of the launcher

bronze river
#

idk why the server and your game has different version, try verify game files just in case

primal wasp

primal wasp
#

we got same version

pine kite
#

Hmm, strange. I did manage to join the lobby of that server.
I suggest you do a Steam verify of the game install:

#

!steamverify

rustic eagleBOT
#

Steam file verification process:
Right Click on game -> Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify Integrity of game files
Arma 3
Steam Workshop Mod repair process:
Open Launcher -> Right Click on mod -> Repair
The first process will automatically verify Steam Workshop items as well.

primal wasp
#

ohhh again??

#

i just finished the first steam verify

pine kite
#

Was the game still running when you did that?

primal wasp
#

nope

hollow swan
#

can anyone help me? Reshade only works when i run arma3.exe as administrator but then i cant use my mods, ive been trying to fix this for the past 4 hours

bronze river

primal wasp
#

are these things supposed to happen tho?

pine kite
#

No, but sometimes download get messed up for unknown reasons.

hollow swan
pine kite
#

And Steam verification doesn't seem to be very thurough in doing that verification.

#

for some reason when i was validating last time it was doing it by 5mb/s

You might get similar error messages when joining a server with mods enabled on your side that the server doesn't allow. But these files are DLC content that belong in a vanila install. Some how they ended up being out-dated or corrupt on your system.

primal wasp
#

praying that it's fixed now 🙏

#

ok, seems to work

pine kite
#

Ah, good old fashioned delete and re-download.

thanks for help mate

Copying and pasting this from Reddit:

Game "freezes" when trying to delete certain Virtual Arsenal loadouts

As the title says, I have a problem trying to delete certain loadouts from my Virtual Arsenal preset loadouts. I can select and load that loadout just fine, but if it's obsolete or something I don't want to play as anymore, I delete it—or try to. When I click "Delete" on the loadouts menu, a warning pops up asking me if I want to delete that loadout. This is where the problem occurs: I can click "Delete" or "Cancel" but it just stops there. The game will continue to run normally and even play the button clicking sound whenever I click either button, but it stops there—I can't click "Delete" nor "Cancel" and I can't even exit out of that. The only way I can get out of that is to Alt+F4 the game.

Now, incidentally, I've found my profile location, but I don't know how to open them or if I can even remove the offending loadouts from it.

steady hawk
#
  1. Try without Mods first
  2. If it doesn't work, you can use some script commands to do the trick
  3. r/arma is not associated with this server aka it's very unofficial, FYI
pine kite
#

I believe those loadouts are saved in your profile's profilename.vars.arma3profile. You can't really edit that to remove them so easily. It is a binarized file and may contain other scenario and mod data that you may corrupt if you do. I heard there are some tools to de-binarize that file. But I never done that. So don't know what you need for that.

Make sure you don't have a dedicated server and your game access the same profile to start it up. It will get into a file access conflict. Force the dedicated server (if you have that) to start with it's own profile.

steady hawk
#

You're answering overcomplicatedly. It's quite very easy to modify via profileNamespace setVariable ["brabra",something]

pine kite
#

Well, that requires coding/SQF knowledge. For us mere mortals that only know basic file handling that is magic.

#

I was merely explaining that there is little point, or could be great harm, in opening the file with a text/hex editor if you don't know what you are doing.

At most you could rename the file as a means to backup and let the game create a new one. To verify if you can save and delete new loadout profiles in a brand new.

patent kettle
#

you can also unbinarize and binarize the file after manual edits, but that needs some more advanced knowledge too.

I got a small issue in regards to starting up arma.

Whenever i try and start the game, it greets me with the crash message, and with the error code 0x00000035, and the Battleye log says that it blocked the loading of vstdlib_s64.dll - What am i supposed to do?

umbral narwhal

That's a steam DLL, I think.

Controller issue.

Using batteries: custom binds work, does not default to the Arma 3 controller layout

Plugged into USB: Defaults to stock Arma 3 controller controls.

Is there any explanation or workaround for this? Or just another amra engine quirk that cant be solved?

This is on Linux, but I might have had the same issue on a Windows-based before

i have reinstalled my game completely fresh and all mods too

#

i need help please

uncut trellis
gentle acorn
#

is there a way to refine my search as to if its a player or a mod?

uncut trellis
#

Do you have access to server logs?

#

Does your server force mod set or is it open for anything?

gentle acorn
#

open to anything and yes ive access to the logs

uncut trellis
#

You can't trust people to manage their mods right

gentle acorn
#

so u reckon someone has something thats attacking me?

uncut trellis
#

A possibility

#

Or they've brought some memeing mod

gentle acorn
#

where/how through logs can i see if itsd a player/mod?

uncut trellis
#

Dunno. Just look for anything irregular I suppose

gentle acorn
#

really nothing i can see in server OR player logs

#

can upload them both if needed

pine kite
#

Make sure you have set verifySignature=2; in the server config file. Then make sure each known mod you want has their keys copied into the Keys folder on the server. Then anyone joining with other not accepted mods (when there is no .bikey file for it) will be denied to join.

#

Some mods will not have keys prepared by it's creator. Then you may consider signing them yourself (and distribute the .bikey files to the other players) or loose the mod entirely.

#

not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but is anyone interested in helping me solve a mystery? Its concerning custom missions for my unit

umbral narwhal
#

Generally you just ask the question, and then people can tell whether they're interested in it.

polar jackal
#

cool, so essentially, I have built out a couple of missions for my unit over the past couple weeks, playing them every sunday, I uploaded this weeks mission to the dedicated server and jumped on to test it. I have run into an issue where the mission will not load under any circumstances, all it does is load for a little bit, before kicking me back to the mission select screen. the logs are entirely inconclusive to what might be causing it. There are no mod errors, and both client and server RPT files are empty of any errors. Only thing I can think of is a line reading "was unit a player? false"

#

anything I might be missing?

#

the obvious perchance?

# woeful edge i can't change my profile name, tried with the site and changing it in steam

Your primary profile is based on your Windows/operating system account name. You can't change that in Arma 3. If you want some other name you need to make a secondary profile. Hover over the pawn icon top right of the main screen, and click on the name to get to profile selection. Be aware Arma 3 profiles have seperate keybinds, saves and stored mod settings. So you may need to set them again to your liking. Also they are stored in slightly different places on your drive.

desert fossil
#

I have no idea what could be causing this, but when ever I load up Arma 3 it seems to be trying to connect me to a server?

20240610234127_1.jpg
golden nova
#

does it happen when you start game with no mods

#

if yes then check launcher parameters

#

if no then you have a mod that forces you to connect to some server, seen this in those awful stalker and life modpacks.

bronze river
#

could also be mac problem since they need to load mods via exe parameter

golden nova
#

oh it's a mac user

#

then you possibly altered the content of the base game, like when downloading mods.

#

give more info, will get better answers

desert fossil
#

I'm on Windows 11.

I started it up without mods or DLC's. It seems to be trying to start a mission?

20240611073639_1.jpg
golden nova
#

go into launcher, select parameters tab, check if you have a custom param to open a mission on game start.

desert fossil
#

That seemed to do it. I don't remember ever putting anything there but 🤷. Thank you

#

That's one problem fixed. I still can't seem to use the server browser in the launcher though.

lime sphinx
#

"recent"

#

go to "Internet" tab 🤷‍♂️

bronze river
#

check other tab, and see if you added filter to the server browser

#

don't forget to refresh the server tab

desert fossil
#

No dice. I don't think the filter is the issue?

pine kite
#

Is Arma 3 game and the launcher allowed to access the internet in your firewall? Or what kind of internet connection do you have? If it doesn't allow communication over IPv4 addressing then you won't get any multiplayer fun with Arma 3.

#

Also, you may want to just play on the stable public branch. Profiling is a bit more bleeding edge. Can have some stability issues.

bronze river
#

if the ingame browser works and shows server list, then the launcher having issue

#

sometimes restarting the game or refreshing the server list multiple time works

Hi I'd like help with an issue

#

I'm setting up my multiplayer server to be used with vanilla medical and the Revive system

#

However, I found that when in multiplayer and with the Revive system enabled, FAKs can heal anyone to 100% instead of the normal 75%

golden nova
#

100% on self-heal or when someone heals you?

grand island
#

If I disable the Revive system or play in singleplayer, the FAKs heal to 75% as intended

#

no mods or CDLCs either

lime sphinx
#

literally what's written in the revive's code (\a3\functions_f_mp_mark\revive\fn_reviveehhandleheal.sqf, lines 18-19):

    //make ANY heal a full heal
    [] call bis_fnc_reviveDamageReset;```
and `\a3\functions_f_mp_mark\revive\fn_revivedamagereset.sqf` is
```sqf
{player setHitPointDamage [_x,0]} forEach (getAllHitPointsDamage player select 0);
player setDamage 0;```

grand island
#

This does really seem like an oversight or a bug though

umbral narwhal
#

Hard to tell with Arma.

grand island
#

It's a purely vanilla issue too

golden nova
#

function literally has a //make ANY heal a full heal so I wouldn't call that a bug tho. More like a purposefully designed feature so you get to full health no matter if you have a medic with medkit or not.

#

write your own function or use any mod that alters the revive system.

grand island
#

yeah...

lime sphinx
#

i mean, it likely was written/designed for more tight/arcadey game feel

#

and i think i've seen some projects use forked homebrewed version of revive with added bells and whistles

grand island
#

I see that, I'm just stumped at what to do about it

#

Cause like

#

I want my regular players to have that 75% health cap with the FAKs and medics to have a job to do to use the medkit to heal everyone to 100%

golden nova
#

or "use any mod that alters the revive system".

lime sphinx
#

or use any other medical mod, for that matter

grand island
#

I'll take a look at some alternatives I guess, it's a shame the vanilla option is borked in this regard

#

I'm asking because I'm letting go of ACE medical in favor of vanilla, too many incompatibilities and I just want smoother and more streamlined gameplay

golden nova
#

you can check out armor plates system mod, healing is close to vanilla and it works as it should when ace is not loaded. Just disable the armor plates themselves in addon options and tweak health settings so medics heal fully and non-medics partially.

grand island
#

I don't know how to mod so I guess

#

thanks doe

That depends on your server.

If anyone is good at explaining and understanding how to join someone else in arma 3 please dm me. My friend and I have been trying to play together but we actually just have not been able to figure it out. We are about to stop trying so this is last resort. We downloaded mods, they were all compatible in date and load order and that didn’t work. We just wanna play the missions together I guess. I’m new to arma so I’m not entirely sure what the game modes are called but we just want to join each other - also we are both on PC

umbral narwhal
#

The difficult part is establishing a connection between two PCs behind NAT at all. Modern games tend to have systems to enable that but with A3 you're on your own.

#

If you're very lucky then you tick the UPNP box when hosting and it'll work. More likely you'll have to try various virtual LAN solutions like radmin, zerotier or hamachi.

#

If you know what you're doing and you're not on CGNAT then you can port forward, but it sounds like that isn't the case here.

hidden rampart
#

so I need to download different things to use like the radmin? Why is the LAN so difficult, we used our IP’s and it still just didn’t work

umbral narwhal
#

Do you really want me to explain networking?

#

If you're lucky then your router has a real IP, but if something tries to connect to that then it doesn't automatically know which local IP to forward the data to.

#

What's increasingly common is that your router doesn't even get its own IP, and there's another layer of address translation above that, which you have no control over.

#

UPNP used to work in the first case, but these days it's often disabled by default for security reasons. Port forwarding works, but it's not easy for beginners to set up.

#

In the latter case nothing works and you need virtual LAN software.

hidden rampart
#

ok so essentially, unless I download LAN virtual software im cooked

#

Cause we tried the UPNP and it didn't work so

There is still one crashbug in Xaudio that's Microsofts fault.
They should've fixed it years ago. I assume they only fixed it in newer Xaudio versions

if there were known fixes you would have found it already

you can ditch any mods that are related to sounds in arma, switch to stereo and possible don't use bluetooth headphones

"16:42:57 Selected Audio Output: Speakers (Realtek(R) Audio) - Channels: 2, Freq: 48000"
Okey that looks good, in that its not mono.
The bug in xaudio is for resampling the frequency, you could try to set your speaker output frequency from 48000 to 44100, then it shouldn't need to resample anything and might not run the crashy code

#

yeah its just the crash I already know

Arma RPT

Arma generates a .rpt log file each time it's run, which contains a lot of information like the loaded mods, or any errors that appear, this log file can be very useful for troubleshooting problems.

To get to your RPT files press Windows+R and enter %localappdata%/Arma 3

Additionally see the wiki page for more info: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files

To share an rpt log here, please use a website like https://sqfbin.com/ to upload the full log, that way the people helping you can take a look at it and try to figure out the problem you're having together with you.
Note: RPT logs can hold personal information relevant to your system, the game or others.

golden nova
#

you can try and find that file, or just grab the whole generated mdmp and wait for one of the devs to look into it

#

usually RPT contains info what happens before the crash but sometimes it doesn't, minidump is much more detailed but normal people can't read it easily

make sure you have everything unchecked but the GlobMob and see if it still crashes. CDLCs are theoretically designed to work together but they might just not work together as well

#

its like a space issue and if you reinstall enough times the space isnt enough for rhs

uncut trellis
#

windows does not reserve diskspace if you uninstall things

#

could also be you leave some residual files somewhere when you uninstall

#

so check your steam install folders if there are any arma files like .pbo left somewhere

vague nova
#

where do i find it

#

tell me the path

#

i really hate having to peep disk spaces and shit just to play arma

uncut trellis
modern echo

@vague nova when you unsubscribe it should free space, the updates need a large delta of twice the storage of the item, do you keep installing and removing mods? try not reinstalling so often. you might want to clear steamapps\workshop\107410 with steam not running, if you have multiple users with different subscriptions and don't really have much in common, it'll easily get bloated

Properties of Arma 3 in steam library in the app has a button to open the install folder. Then there is the Arma 3 folders in Documents for your profiles.

But indeed, mods are stored in the location Juesto mentioned.

mods are the main storage problem of this game

So recently it seems that the basegame 82mm Mortar causes people to CTD when they try to ADS on the placed mortar tube on our server. Im guessing its maybe a mod interaction of some kind, but I cant find any sort of information about the issue otherwise. Does anyone have any familiarity with this issue?

uncut trellis
#

could be the mortar recoil yeets them. Probably best to recommend not doing that

slender bobcat
#

no just trying to aim down sight on the 82mm tube causes the crash to desktop

#

not even firing

yeah that was my plan

am in the middle of squad drills with the unit atm, so havent been able to go bug hunting yet, but i thought i might see if anyone happened to smell a familiar issue

crash to desktop should never happen though, send MDMP in a .zip file from %localappdata%\Arma 3 to dedmen in dms

is that generated every time, or do i need to generate the crash report on CTD?

Hi arma says port forwading setup failed. Please check upnp/igd settings on your router. is there a fox for this? both me and my friend get this message and we both recently changed internet providers

To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your router’s status page in the settings to confirm. (If in doubt, ask your ISP, Websites like “whatismyip.com” give you a false positive!)
Local servers and games can not be hosted on an IPv6 network, or IPv4 via DSlite tunnel!
https://www.avg.com/en/signal/ipv4-vs-ipv6
Once you have confirmed that your connection uses the IPv4 protocol, you need to manually open / forward the ports 2302-2306 UDP (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding)
See your router’s manual on how to do that, or ask google: “<your router model> + port forwarding”

uncut trellis

golden nova
#

have you confirmed you actually have static ipv4 address?

#

depending on region you're from it's not something provided along with the internet access, sometimes gotta pay up for it or it's strictly not for private users. If you want to just play with a couple friends and you don;t have means to port forward or use upnp then consider using a virtual lan client like radmin or hamachi

carmine tiger
golden nova
#

beforehand you mean with previous ISP?

carmine tiger
golden nova
#

open the command prompt, type ipconfig/all and confirm, look for dhcp enabled and if it says no then you have static ip, otherwise dynamic

carmine tiger
#

i cant seem to find my ip

carmine tiger
golden nova
#

so it means no static IP = no local hosting, Arma 3 does not support IPv6 unfortunately

#

you might want to contact your ISP and ask if they offer static IPv4 addresses and can you get one, it differs per provider

carmine tiger
#

ok thanks alot

golden nova
#

in current state what you can do is either buy a hosting or grab radmin/hamachi and try to play through virtual LAN, it shouldn't be an issue as long as there's not many of you playing theer

carmine tiger

Is this a log after a crash?

amber night
#

no I closed it manually

#

the game never crashes

it just freezes

it still works but I can only see one frame

it's got to be a graphical bug, but I don't understand what causes it

Do you mean which? Did it freezes or it continues in 1 FPS?

amber night

it freezes

not the simulation

just the graphics

I see a still shot

but I can still "play"

ie I can shoot, move, and whatever else

Okay I mean freeze and 1FPS is not same thing

Hey guys, I have a replicable crash that I would like someone else to confirm

#

It's caused by the explosion/impact of a laser guided shell from the M4 Scorcher. I'm using the Virtual Artillery support module

#

I thought it was one of my mods but I just replicated it in vanilla as well, .rpt said that shell.p3d is a nonnetwork object right before the crash

#

this is all in a multiplayer environment (tried both on dedicated and local hosted servers)

#

Exit code is Status Access Violation

If you can replicate it with no mods then make a ticket in the feedback tracker

# amber night this is just arma with proton

Maybe the linux branch itself is outdated. But the people that play on linux, be it with proton or whatever or not, are likely to check that more. And others that tried the proton way may have left clues there in the past.

pine kite
# golden nova open the command prompt, type `ipconfig/all` and confirm, look for dhcp enabled ...

What the ISP provides as dynamic or static IP cannot be found in the ipconfig results if there is a router in between. Even a dynamic address assigned to the router can be used to host a server behind it. Often the address is stable for days.

The issue is often that the ISP has their own kind of router with address translation between you and the internet. And then portforwarding/UPnP does not work. And Steam can't create a stable connection with your server to show it in the serverbrowser list. Or they only give the router an IPv6 address which Arma 3 doesn't know how to use. It requires IPv4 addressing.

golden nova
#

I always thought the DHCP setting is a rule of thumb regarding "normal" ISP clients

#

and if your IP is not properly "static" then in all cases it is in the ISP's backend mess

pine kite
#

Yes, DHCP is the standard for Windows and I guess other operating systems to get an IP address. But if there is a router provided by the ISP to connect your computer to, then the router provides that IP address for it. The internet side of the router gets a address from the ISP which is either assigned dynamically without any dependable lifetime, dynamic but reserved so essentially static for a while, or completely static in the sense that they told you w.x.y.z is your address as long as you pay them.

But this hidden router at the ISP that you can't control the portforwarding of is mostly the reason why multiplayer servers don't show up in the list. Because packets of Steam, or of people trying to join get sent into the wrong area of the internet. Or some packets to certain Arma 3 ports get blocked in that internal router of the ISP.

When i put arma to fullscreen window display the gamma breaks and everything becomes very bright and the issue doesnt happen in fullscreen

image.png
umbral narwhal
#

Having a static local IP can be helpful for port forwarding but doesn't matter with some routers.

golden nova
#

well my bad then

#

but assuming port forwarding did not work (and it used to work with previous ISP) I could have been right anyway, and radmin probably let them play together without much more inconvenience

umbral narwhal
#

The UPNP failed message is also independent of CGNAT :P

#

UPNP can claim to work when CGNAT actually blocks it, and can fail to work when the upstream is fine.

#

but yeah if you can get VLAN software to work then you don't need to worry about any of it.

golden nova
#

however on the screen the brightness looks pretty normal to me. Can you take screenshots in-game both for fullscreen and windowed?

cedar flint
#

the one on top is fullscreen

#

other one is with fullscreen windowed

#

also when i take a picture with geforce experience while fullscreen windowed is on it just looks like the fullscreen one

golden nova
#

interesting, but this seems modded. Are you sure that if you're loading with 0 mods, 0 dlcs and 0 custom parameters in launcher the game still does this

cedar flint
#

yes i am %100 sure

golden nova
#

because if it does then IDK, never seen this happening to me or any other person showing up here

cedar flint
#

ive tried everything

golden nova
#

and you don't have any form of reshade installed on top of the game?

uncut trellis
#

maybe some GPU enhancement messes it up?

cedar flint
#

without mods)

cedar flint
golden nova
#

if you have time and internet for it I'd start from reinstalling the game, get rid of any files you have on top of the game like reshade to make sure there is no DLL or any other file messing with the game

cedar flint

thanks

golden nova
golden nova
# cedar flint thanks

you can also go to the nvidia control panel and turn all the settings back to default in case you have messed with them before and now this might be the outcome

#

in my case I don't see any option that would override those settings just like I said, but maybe they brought it back for 4xxx series or something

cedar flint
#

ill just wipe every file and reinstall

It's a new install so I will try to switch to arch tomorrow

modern echo

#

then show me where because i do not see it in thhe control panel

you can manage the color profile which includes gamma and brightness by telling it to use nvidia settings

and the color profile stuff only affects the display not screenshots iirc

ive got a cti arma 3 server and i wanted to add ace with an additional medical mod but when i stareted the server again this popped up

image.png
golden nova
#

the error says that you have those PBOs on your PC but not on the server.

pine kite
#

What is the "additional medical mod"?

solid loom
golden nova
#

remove that "additional medical mod" you're trying to load up

solid loom
#

ok

pine kite
#

Disable them from the launcher should suffice. Though it can be tricky or hard to match the modname to the names in that error message. Just go through the mods that are enabled in the launcher, uncheck them one by one and test if the error message changes/no longer mentioned one.

But yeah, me and honger suspect you have that "additional medical mod" is a modpack that contain outdated versions of ACE and maybe other mods.

solid loom
#

didnt change at all

#

still the same message

pine kite
#

Then you may have mods mentioned in the -mods parameter in the parameters tab of the launcher

#

Or you didn't put the ACE .bikey file(s) into the keys folder of the server.

#

These are not automatically moved/copied by all arma 3 server hosting companies. Certainly doesn't happen by itself in a custom made server.

solid loom
#

i copied 1 key from the "keys" folder into the server keys folder.... but it was there aleready... is it possible that the keys from the "optional" folder are ruining it rn? cuz there are many "ace_" keys in the server files

image.png
umbral narwhal
#

No. Extra keys on the server side doesn't hurt, except for allowing stuff that you might not want to allow.

#

This isn't a signature error anyway.

#

This is ACE saying you're loading old compat addons that you shouldn't be loading.

#

ah wait

solid loom
#

well... i uninstalled ace and reinstalled it but that didnt help aswell

umbral narwhal
#

Are you loading SPE and GM CDLC on the client?

solid loom
#

spe is that the spearhead dlc? and whats gm

umbral narwhal
#

Spearhead and Global Mobilization CDLCs.

solid loom
#

yeah all dlcs are on the server

umbral narwhal
#

No they're not.

solid loom
#

i can use dlc things from those dlcs on the server... but they dont have a hitbox for the ai XD

solid loom
umbral narwhal
#

You're not loading them on the server.

solid loom
#

didnt have any problems yet... theyre on the server for weeks

umbral narwhal
#

Therefore ACE generates the error because it loads the compatibility mods on the client but not the server.

#

You can't run ACE with mismatched CDLC, or some other mismatched mods.

solid loom
#

so i can fix it by making the dlcs obligational or to not allowing them from server side

#

is that correct?

solid loom
#

@umbral narwhal how do i disable optional dlc from server side?

umbral narwhal
#

You mean to block clients connecting with them? Don't add their keys to the keys folder.

solid loom
#

so u say if i disable them from client side i can join right

#

ok its working ty

That's what a friend told me

rigid frost
#

Well, how do i fix my disk ?

long dome
#

The fact that you were having very frequent freezes before this also implies a problem with your PC

#

Problems with disks are often physical. Back up your data and prepare to replace the drive.

mental river
#

It might be a software problem tho. Check how much disk/cpu/etc. is being used in Task Manager

rigid frost
#

Oh fuck yea

Memory is fucked

I use 9.1go and i have 4.8go avaible

# rigid frost I use 9.1go and i have 4.8go avaible

The "available" number is how much is left after what's in use. That means a large portion of your RAM is in use, but not all of it - your usage isn't exceeding your capacity. That remaining 4.8GB should be fine to do a download - and it's possible Steam is what's using that 9.1GB to begin with. You can check that in the Processes tab by sorting by memory usage.

I'll get a new one there

#

And transfer my files

#

Thanks

#

@rigid frost you need your disk imaged/cloned/rescued with all your data asap, check the disk monitor in task manager, pay attention to the drive type and the transfer speeds and latency

Hey guys. I have all of these mods loaded and the server does too. Why doesn't it let me join?

It says mods not allowed on the server when they are loaded on the server

im so pissed

#

i was dying in a dynamic recon ops

#

and i got revived

#

and the game didnt catch it

#

and i died

#

even tho i healed

#

i was in this mission for an hour plus

#

what is fucking wrong with this stupid ass game

#

in what other game you get healed and the game still thinks youre downed

uncut trellis
#

u got too much mods probably

pine kite
night depot
#

keys should be in as well

night depot
pine kite
#

That list of folders doesn't imply that it is used by the server.

night depot
#

I'll double check

#

All keys are in

pine kite
#

The server should generate a RPT log file (wherever the server profile is stored) That shows a table which mods are actually found and loaded.

uncut trellis
#

in keys folder?

night depot
pine kite
#

In a keys folder on the server root folder? As they are probably in a keys folder inside the mod folder itself.

night depot
#

There's a few mods that are uploaded to the server but not running. Could that be causing the issue?

night depot
night depot
#

not sure if I have access to it here

pine kite
#

Ok, that is what should be if you have signature verification enabled.

Are the mods you want to use listed in the commandline -mod= parameter, that defines if they are actually attempted to be loaded.

#

I see a folder called serverprofile.

night depot
#

There's a bunch of log files in there. Which ones the best to look at?

night depot
#

I've double checked it. It downloaded the mods I needed and it added their keys correctly

#

The file correctly speficies -mod before each one

night depot

oh wait

#

pine kite
#

No, that is not the RPT log file, or maybe parts of it.

#

I that server based on Windows or Linux?

night depot
#

I can't say

pine kite
#

Are you renting that server? Or set it up yourself?

night depot
#

I've checked

#

it's linux running on pterodactyl

#

A friend owns it. I use it for arma

pine kite
#

Then it doesn't realy make a RPT log file. It sends the messages to stdout/stderr. It needs to be piped to a file to read that.

night depot
pine kite
night depot
#

Slim chance

#

Is the RPT file the only way to check what's wrong?

#

Could the errors I've shown earlier be the result of mods that are incorrectly updated and therefore do not match my keys?

pine kite
#

Only the RPT messages show what is actually succesfully loaded, yes.

#

That or you need to find a way to read the stoud/stderr stream yourself.

The voice I selected when making a unit in orbat creator is not in the identity field and in game it's the default american voice.

Screenshot_234-1.png
#

The thing is in the autogen file, the voice name is there in the identitytypes field as "Language_Ackbar"

Screenshot_233-1.png
#

I've asked on the Orbat discord but no one replied

cunning trench

#

then I got no idea

fallen jewel
uncut trellis
#

you will likely need to write that manually in the config

#

ORBAT creator probably does not take that into account

fallen jewel
uncut trellis
#

the orbat creator writes for you

#

you can manually edit it

fallen jewel
#

But in game the ai doesn't use the language that's written in the config

#

In attributes, voice field is blank

language_ackbar is not vanilla parameter..

fallen jewel

Language is written here

Screenshot_20240623_163354_Discord.jpg
uncut trellis
#

so dunno where you pick that up

fallen jewel
#

It's from CFP

#

The ackbar voice

uncut trellis
#

try one of the vanilla ones

#

just to see if those work

#

maybe you made a typo

#

or something you do breaks the other mods configs and it does not exist anymore

fallen jewel
#

Idk man that's how it's supposed to be written

uncut trellis
#

try one of the vanilla ones then

#

just to see if there those work

fallen jewel
#

I already know they work I'm just having an issue with that particular Language

#

The thing is some CFP units use that voice I've checked the CFP configs

#

And the CFP units load in game with that ackbar language

uncut trellis
#

well it is some sort of mod issue then.

#

or typo

#

not much else can be said

#

you can check the RPT log if there is anything related there Id suppose

fallen jewel
#

Well I've asked on orbat discord and no one has helped

uncut trellis
#

thats the place where the experts are on this matter

#

Im sure if someone else has ideas then they will answer.

Small issue with my Ace AI

#

So they're supposed to stow/equip NVG based on the time of day (ace_ai_assignNVG)

#

They do one, but not the other
As in, if the mission starts at daytime they wont equip their NVGs when it gets dark. Vice versa they wont stow their NVGs when it gets bright.

So... been experiencing an issue with the Arma process occasionally hanging in the background after closing my game and being unable to kill it without rebooting my laptop. Tried killing the process both through task manager and elevated Powershell, says "access denied".

What can be the cause and is there a fix for it? Are any mods known for causing this? Currently unable to send my modlist from my phone

Howdy my arma 3 game is crashing after 15 minutes in game and i mean like crsh to where i have to restart my computer completely. it happens with and without mods.

umbral narwhal
#

There is likely something badly wrong with your hardware.

#

If it's consistently ~15min rather 0-30 then probably something overheating.

pearl glacier
#

my nvidia overlay say my gpu is at 0% . it only happens with arma.

bronze river
#

have you tried verifying game files?

pearl glacier
#

indeed. i have also done a fresh install of the game.

#

when i first got the game it ran perfectly. i deleted it to make some room and came back and now it just wants to shit the bed when i try to play it.

#

is there a way to see what gpu is being used whn you play a game whilst in said game

bronze river
#

if you have Nvidia you can force a game to use the graphic card via Nvidia Control panel

pearl glacier
#

oop found it

uncut trellis
#

if you have onedrive in use that can mess up the Arma3 profile saving/reading

maybe some relation

Check if radmin vpn is working correctly. Maybe his radmin IP or whatever ID he has changed.

Or the firewall is blocking on his end.

G'day all I've recently being playing around with a bunch of mods and I've found I keep getting the 0xCFFFFFF - Status_Application_Hang Problem when ever I click on the actual icon when the game boots it stops responding and I get the error at first I thought it was myself being impatient but after getting past the loading screen I try and load into Virtual arsenal and I get the same error I've verified the game files once and are slightly losing my mind over it any ideas on why this is happening?

#

(I've also tried running the game without mods and I had no similar issues)

bronze river
#

Loading a bunch of mods will cause instability to the game, just load enough mods.

mortal void
golden nova
#

mods get updated, game gets updated, scripts can be triggered in different order if they feel like it and the dev did a shitty job. Something working before is not really an excuse for anything

#

ditch mods, see if the barebone game works, then either reduce mods from your preset or start adding them from 0 until it breaks again and you'll find the culprit

steady hawk
#

Or play vanilla

golden nova
#

I can already see the culprit, those modpacks are ass troll_smiling

what does the date have to do with your problem? It says it can be activated on a Turkish account so either your friend did not gift it but bought for yourself or your/his account is not set to region of Turkey

Unfortunate News, my issue is still persisting, but if i delete the cache.ch file, i can play a scenario one time before needing to reset

#

This is what happens. The loading screen will not move at all

#

I’ve tried most of the methods recommended online but none fix the problem permanently

#

Again, the issue only shows up when I have to use Western Sahara. Some mods need that to work properly so I need it to work to play with them

steady hawk
#
  • which server (or SP)?
  • loaded Mods and CDLCs?
  • does this happen in vanilla?
silent dagger
#

Single player. No mods. Only happens with Western Sahara

steady hawk
#

Which mission? What about others?

silent dagger
#

It’s Dynamic Recon Ops- Altis. This happens with all the other DRO scenarios too

#

And it’s a fairly recent issue. I’ve played them before with no issue

steady hawk
#

Which DRO to be exact? Workshop link?

silent dagger
umbral narwhal
#

hmm, DRO + WS causes some hardcore SQF error spamming in some WS function

silent dagger
#

Is there a way to fix it

umbral narwhal
#

Uh, don't run WS, I guess.

#

It'll be a bug in WS possibly related to a specific vehicle that's spawned.

#

Maybe they'll fix it, maybe they won't.

silent dagger
#

Ok, the mods still works just some stuff is missing(I think). Thanks for the help

umbral narwhal
#

You shouldn't run that even if it works. The RPT spam is pretty epic. I ran up 6MB in a few seconds.

alright. i can live without a few mods. again thanks

Arma RPT

Arma generates a .rpt log file each time it's run, which contains a lot of information like the loaded mods, or any errors that appear, this log file can be very useful for troubleshooting problems.

To get to your RPT files press Windows+R and enter %localappdata%/Arma 3

Additionally see the wiki page for more info: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files

To share an rpt log here, please use a website like https://sqfbin.com/ to upload the full log, that way the people helping you can take a look at it and try to figure out the problem you're having together with you.
Note: RPT logs can hold personal information relevant to your system, the game or others.

Whenever I try and launch my game from the launcher I only get buldozer to start. I do not have buldozer selected in the launcher parameters, however, I did use it in Terrain Builder earlier this week. Does anyone know of a fix because a fresh install of Arma and Arma Tools did not correct the issue?

uncut trellis

Why you would have such I can't say. Dozer typically is run from inside object builder or terrain builder

Check steams library properties for launch parameters too

Is this possibly a GPU issue or a modded issue? having been having these in this campaign, i did experience similar stuff in 1 other modded game (Fallout 3), other players don't seem to have this issue, wanted to make sure it wasn't the game or mods, that's why i'm posting it here (Models flickering Black)

How do I load mods through arma3.exe shortcut? "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\arma3.exe" -noPause -noSplash -skipIntro -noWorld -mod=@3den Enhanced;CBA_A3
I tried folder name, relative path, mod name. Nothin works.

umbral narwhal
#

First, if you have spaces in the paths then you need to wrap in quotes, like -mod="@3den Enhanced;@CBA_A3".

#

But the mod paths are relative to the server executable, so if those are workshop mods then you either need to symlink them, or add !Workshop to the path:
-mod="!Workshop\@3den Enhanced;!Workshop\@CBA_A3"

pine kite
#

Ideally, you use the Launcher to keep track of your mods. It downloads them and can keep them in preset lists for easy enabling and launching the game with it. Especially getting them for servers you want to join.

Since #server_admins #server_windows exists specifically for servers (for Arma 3), I assume .. and notice people predominantly ask about the game client here. So I do not consider server issues here unless specifically mentioned. arma3.exe is the game client.

Not sure how you could troubleshoot that. Arma doesn't even say which input device it's using in the RPT.
